I'm here in Texas & the hogs are by far our worst pests. They tear our hay fields up to no end. I caught these the other day & gave the hogs to my now best freinds to process & feed their family's. Hogs in Texas are out of control.
Youch! Great job with the pest extermination though. What part of Texas? I'm in Houston, but from Corpus. My son lives on a ranch in Tomball. There isn't much open country around him and he hasn't mentioned wild hogs being there.
The state of Michigan recently made it legal to kill any ferral pig anywhere in the state that hunting is permitted. No need for a license or permit. They want to prevent that from happening here. The law was passed as a direct result of what has happened in your state.
Same "no- laws" here on pigs. They are ruining ALOT of grazing. I've been trapping,but not as much as last year. they are DELICIOUS!
Oooh... looks like a lot of mighty fine eating there! My Dad lives in the western part of La. and feral hogs have been a real problem there for years. They really do a number on his Winter rye grass fields. But now with the hard times in this country folks are thinning them out some ( think bacon & hams)
There's a problem with them in TN too. That's one of the first thing we were told about when we moved here. We haven't seen any but our neighbors 5 miles away have a horrible time with them. Laurie
Quote:I heard about that, a guy just killed a wild hog right near us in columbiaville!! I didnt realize they were here much less this close to us!!
Yes, here in Texas no hunting license required to kill hogs. You can also spot light them at night. We usually call the game warden & let him no that will be out hunting hogs at night so he won't think we are hunting deer. Last year we bought a suppressor for our hog rifle which has helped out its legal as well to eliminate these pest . I built two big hog traps on our proberty & have caught my share.It seems that you catch them & they'll leave for awhile & then come back. They are very tasty but hard to clean. I'm gonna build a big smoker & start making bacon sausage etc. I killed this hog a few years back he weighed over 300 lbs.
Great job on getting some meat for the freezer. I have two in mine right now and hoping to add a few more.
